Gary, I had a DNA match who was looking for a Lewis connection. Ironically, Thomas or rather Turner-Thomas is DNA match.

They were married in Washington Co VA in 1784(?). We think Thomas' father was a William Lewis and we have no further documentation. Family lore is that Thomas was born in Wales but I have doubts. I think it may have been his father who was born in Wales. Thomas migrated to Morgan Co, KY where he died in 1849. He was granted a Revolutionary War pension as he was an Indian scout for George Rogers Clark. I have done my DNA testing to see if I could tie in with some of the other Lewis lines. I have a very close match with another person whose grandfather was born in Wales. So we do have a definite Wales ancestor. I have read about Gen Andrew Lewis but have no documentation that we are related. There are at least 4 other Lewis lines in our area (Eastern KY) which no doubt we are connected but have no proof. I have two aunts who were Lewis and married Lewis who were different lines. Who are your Lewis ancestors from the 1800's and where were they located? Thanks, Gary Lewis, cousin? ----- Original Message ----- From: "marianne dillow" <mdillow31@verizon.net> To: <KYROWAN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 9:31 PM Subject: [KYROWAN] Lewis Lineage > Would anyone on the list know of a Lewis family in Rowan County going back > to Virginia, possibly the Gen Andrew Lewis family. > > Any info would greatly be appreciated. > > Marianne Dillow > Illinois > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > KYROWAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > > -- > Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. > Checked by AVG. > Version: 7.5.519 / Virus Database: 269.21.7/1328 - Release Date: 3/13/08 > 11:31 AM > > > ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to KYROWAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
